Last LSR before the Royal Parks Half

October 5, 2014 11.0 miles 1:34:14 8:34/mi

Distance felt comfortable, knee felt good. Overall a decent last LSR – starting to feel excited about the half marathon!

Tempo run (5 miles @ ~7:16 pace)

October 3, 2014 7.3 miles 57:05 7:48/mi

Pleased with pace and HR given net uphill route and warmer conditions today. Even more important, knee feels really good – touch wood it is now sorted.

Last track session before the Royal Parks Half. Bit tired today, so felt like quite hard work. Didn’t quite manage[…]

Home to the track and back

October 1, 2014 6.2 miles 31:25 11.8 mph

Another easy run around the Severn

LSR around Worcester

September 28, 2014 14.3 miles 2:05:01 8:45/mi

Knee still giving a slight nagging ache as the mileage builds, but far better than it has been. Two week taper for the HM starts next week, so with the reduced mileage it will hopefully continue to heal well.

Easy run around the Severn

September 27, 2014 6.2 miles 55:48 8:59/mi

Still have a slight nagging at the knee but nothing major. Feels fine after the run with no residual pain which I think is the main thing.
